Murmurs of Earth: The Voyager Interstellar Record

If you need to own everything published about the Voyager space probe, Murmurs of Earth: The Voyager Interstellar Record (Warner New Media) is for you. Most of us want something more for our money. Flip through 116 pictures and you’re done. The rest of the CD-ROM contains all the audio selections on Voyager. There’s no explanation of how this collection of audio segments was chosen, no history of the Voyager program, nada. The box boasts of a “New essay by Carl Sagan,” which consists of one and a half pages in the jewel box insert. Really!
